First Claim
1. A receiver which establishes a communication, by a directional wireless communication, between the receiver and a transmitter that transmits data, and which receives the data from the transmitter,the transmitter transmitting connection request information for requesting a connection between the transmitter and the receiver to the receiver at a predetermined period, and the transmitter transmitting data related to the connection request information to the receiver after transmitting the connection request information,said receiver comprising:
- a communication device for establishing a communication between the transmitter and the receiver, and for releasing the communication thus established;
a release control section for carrying out a control with respect to the communication device to release the communication thus established between the transmitter and the receiver; and
an establishment control section which controls the communication device so that a connection between the transmitter and the receiver is established in accordance with the connection request information, in a case where the connection request information is received from the transmitter while the communication established between the transmitter and the receiver is released in accordance with the control with respect to the communication device which control is carried out by the release control section.

Abstract
A receiver establishes a communication between the receiver and a transmitter that transmits data by a directional wireless communication. While a connection request command which is information for requesting a connection is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver at a predetermined period, a packet group corresponding to the connection request command is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. The receiver includes a receiver connection establishment control section which controls a communication device so that a connection between the transmitter and the receiver is established in accordance with the connection request command, in a case where the connection request information is received from the transmitter while the communication with the transmitter and the receiver is released. This allows the receiver to naturally reproduce streaming data with the use of a directional wireless communication.
